The invention relates to a novel method for preparing a
cefmenoxime hydrochloride compound. The method comprises the following steps of: 1) adding a
cefmenoxime hydrochloride-insoluble
solvent into a
raw material, namely
cefmenoxime hydrochloride, controlling the temperature to be not more than 30 DEG C, violently stirring, filtering, washing a
filter cake by using the cefmenoxime
hydrochloride-insoluble
solvent at the temperature of not more than 20 DEG C, and performing
vacuum drying or air-
drying; 2) putting the
filter cake into
ammonia water, mildly stirring, controlling the pH value to be not more than 9 so as to obtain an
ammonia water solution of cefmenoxime acid, and filtering a precipitate; 3) slowly adding
hydrochloric acid at the concentration of between 0.5 and 4mol / L into the
ammonia water solution of the cefmenoxime acid, controlling the temperature to be 30 to 60 DEG C, finally controlling the pH value to be 0.5 to 3.0, keeping for 30 minutes to 5 hours so as to slowly precipitate crystals, gradually reducing the temperature to the lowest 10 DEG C, standing, crystallizing, performing suction
filtration, and performing
vacuum drying to obtain a refined product of the cefmenoxime
hydrochloride; and 4) optionally, returning
crystallization mother liquor obtained after the crystals are precipitated to step 3). By the method, the purity of the cefmenoxime
hydrochloride is greatly improved, the content of related substances is remarkably reduced, the quality of preparation products is improved, and the toxic or
side effect is reduced.
